Cooking Instructions
- 1
Preheat oven to 190C / Gas mark 5
- 2
Make your jelly first, else you will be waiting on it later. To start, add 1/2 pint of boiling water over the jelly in a glass jug (notice we do not use the full amount as only using 1/2 pint really worked for me)
- 3
Once the jelly is all disolved, add the optional marmalade and cointreau
- 4
To create a perfect jelly mould, line a small cake tin with cling film (helps when you take it out) and pour your jelly mixture into the tin. Allow it to cool before placing into the fridge to set (time varies depending on your fridge, but it took about 45 mins for me)
- 5
While the jelly is setting, make the sponge. First, mix together all of your margarine and sugar together to create a smooth buttercream-like mixture. Then, beat the egg in a glass jug and gradually add to your butter and sugar. Sieve in your flour, making sure the end result is smooth and lumpless. Finally, just add a pinch of salt
- 6
Place your cake mixture into a greased cake tin, then create a small dip in the centre of the cake to account for the rise that will occur during cooking, then place in the middle of your preheated oven and bake for 15 - 20 mins, until lightly brown and a knife or skewer can be poked into the centre of the cake and come out clean
- 7
By this point, your jelly should be done. Put your jelly in the freezer for 10 - 15 mins to stop it melting when you pour the melted chocolate over it
- 8
To melt the chocolate, break it up into small pieces into a glass bowl. Melt it over a small pan of water on a low heat, stop heating it once it is smooth and lumpless
- 9
Take your jelly out of the freezer and place it on top of the sponge, leaving a 2 - 3 cm margin around the edge. Allow your chocolate to cool slightly, and then pour over the top of your sponge and jelly, completly covering the top. Once this is done, put your nearly completed Giant Jaffa Cake in the fridge to let the chocolate set

Your done!! Enjoy your Giant (and slightly alcoholic) Jaffa Cake!! :D

Delicious! It would also be amazing with other flavoured jellies, maybe with some fresh fruit thrown in!

Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake
This dessert is a delicious cross between a cake and a cookie; it's not as crumbly as a cookie but not as soft as a cake. The size of the pan depends on your personal preference and so does the baking time. Just so you can compare: mine was baked in a 27 cm round cake pan for an hour. Yum!

Fig Cake Fig Cake
This is a fig version of a fruit butter cake that came from my British mother-in-law who makes it with prunes.The original prune version tasted so delicious, so I looked for a good fruit substitute in Japan, and found figs to be the perfect fit!Since fresh fruit is used to bake this cake, it is also delicious on the day it is baked.The cake becomes more moist the next day, adding another level of delight.

Wacky Wacky Cake! Wacky Wacky Cake!
Wacky Wacky Cake! This is a fun and delicious chocolate cake recipe you’ll love! It’s simple, budget-friendly, and doesn’t contain eggs or dairy, so it’s also vegan-friendly. The cake bakes up moist and stays that way!This unique cake first became popular during the Great Depression, when ingredients like dairy and eggs were hard to come by. It later gained popularity again during World War II, when milk and eggs were scarce. Most recently, it became a favorite dessert during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns.

Almond Cake! Almond Cake!
It was my daughter's birthday, and this year, since we didn't go to Greece in 2020, I decided to make the cake myself from scratch! 🤩I've made many cakes with my mother in the past for my own birthdays, but this is my first cake as a mom! 😅Tips:i) I made the sponge cake and the cream (which I put in the fridge) the night before, then the next day I made the syrup, and after it cooled, I assembled the cake and made the whipped cream. I left it in the fridge for a day, and we cut it the following day.ii) I didn't have a piping bag—it's not like I make cakes every day 😂—so I made one out of parchment paper (found instructions online), but if you try this, make 2-3 because mine tore! 😝 -

Ooey gooey butter cake :-) Ooey gooey butter cake :-)
Well I was hanging out with my girlfriend (pintrest) looking for a recipe for German butter cake OMG. Years ago my father who is a baker used to make these. And I absolutely love them. Whenever I was out of his sight at the bakery he would make me talk to make sure I wasn't eating lol. Then I found them at Riekers Prime meats here in Philadelphia. You have to get there early to get those buttery pans of heaven. Anyway I saw this one and decided to try it out. It's pretty darn good but it doesn't come anywhere close to my fathers are writers primates decided to try it out. It's pretty darn good. Well try it out I hope you enjoy it I certainly did.
